First time there was Saturday. Liked the place a lot overall. Very wide variety. Only thing is I'd like to see the spruce it up alittle bit.

I love this place. Huge, hundreds of beers, and organized by state and by country. And the variety of styles and quality is fabulous. I always try to stop by when visiting Rochester.

Well, certainly no lie in the name. Very international selection here, although I'd watch the BBB dates. Found a new country tick, so yay me! Lots of local and regional craft as well, both as singles and 4/6 packs. Good service.

Just a big store. BOTW has a huge selection, probably too big for the regional market. This shows in how often I have purchased spoiled beer. I learned early to check bottle dates, and occasionally forget, or risk a bottle without a clear date. This was the case today, when I learned how to decipher the Weihenstephaner encrypted date. My bottle is nine months old, and pure garbage. In the past I have brought such issues to BOTW’s attention, but they have never made me feel like a valued customer. Not rude, but seem to have no concern for the customer experience. They do have a huge selection, and some great beers, but one needs to be vigilant. Other stores are now open, within five miles, with excellent selection and service, so I only go to BOTW when looking for something the other stores don’t have in stock.

Stopped here to check it out, I had heard good things so I wanted to see what the hype was about. The place is pretty big, like a converted grocery store into just a beer store with some home brewing equipment they sell as well. The service was decent. The selection is massive, If there is a country you need a beer from, this is probably the place to look.

Great world wide selection. Prices are decent. The beer may not be the freshest (problem for IPAs, not so much for high gravity beers) but there certainly is a lot to choose from.

Amazing place if you are looking for a supermarket of beer. Honestly the best selection of beers I have seen. I was hoping for more diamonds but they had all basic craft beers with a cabinet of vintage beers that are very old. The price could have been a little cheaper but ah well. As for the look of the building, it could us a face lift on the inside. Some one before me said it looks like a warehouse and that is the vide you get from it. It just needs some new flooring and better lighting. Overall, it was a great place to spend 2.5 hours.

Selection is unbelievable. We have a really good time seeing all of the different beers. The atmosphere was not really desirable. I think it be cool if they added a tap room for tastings and some updates to the decor. The place is basically just a warehouse with lots of beer!!

Cheaper and more friendly at AJs. Hard to imagine that the massive inventory is kept fresh. On a positive note, definitely the place to go for a beer from Japan, China, Poland, etc.
